CCSS Friendly Technology Tool for Math - Infographics Piktochart is a data visualization tool. Its specific purpose is to help the user create an infographic. An infographic is a graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge designed to present complex information clearly. It’s vital for students to be able to think critically about data and draw conclusions. Using infographics students must analyze and interpret data to create content for their infographic. Then they must defend their conclusions about that data with facts.
